A gory end . . .

[END]

"Spread out!"

"Don't cluster!"

"Fall back!"

It didn't take minutes for the line of command to go in disarray. No one knew what orders to follow anymore. 

Once mages were thinning out, the Grendelkin then repositioned using grapple to get the rest of the characters that were gathered around it. 

To make matters worse, the Grendelkin use [Upheaval] as often as possible to stun characters, which allows it to automatically grapple the stunned characters and crush them to death.

We were outnumbered in the first place. Everyone was already having a hard time deflecting the goblin's attacks, but now that the Grendelkin was joining in the fray, it was no longer a battle – it was a massacre.

The Grendelkin was about to leap again when dozens of thick veins suddenly roped around its neck and limbs, ironing it on the ground.
